Transcriptional, translational, and physiological signatures of undernourished honey bees (Apis mellifera) suggest a role for hormonal factors in hypopharyngeal gland degradation
Honey bee nurses care for larvae in the hive by secreting food from their hypopharyngeal glands.
•
Nurses that are deprived of pollen have small hypopharyngeal glands.
•
Small glands are transcriptionally and translationally active compared to large glands.
•
Small glands show signatures of hormone-induced gland apoptosis.
